Make your own colour wheel using water in cups, food colouring and paper towels.
Simply fill 6 clear cups 1/4 of the way full of water.
Add food colouring to 3 of the cups (red, blue and yellow).
Make sure you use lots of food colouring in order to make vibrant colours.
Leave the other 3 cups with clear water.
Arrange the cups in a circle in order to resemble a colour wheel.
Place a piece of paper towel in between each cup.
Watch as the paper towel slowly sucks the water up and over the lip of the cup.
After a few hours, the paper towels have moved some of the primary colours into the cups that were clear in the beginning. The mixture of the colours creates the secondary colours (purple, orange and green)
Your kids will love watching the colours transform into new colours. My kids even requested keeping the colour wheel on our kitchen table as a centrepiece.
